Nothing special

Rating: 6/10 (10 December 2010)

It alright i suppose. Just, alright. It gritty which is good and also chilling. Seeing London empty is chilling. In fact the first half of the film does enough to keep you hooked. The second half unfortunately is just plain daft. The atmosphere was the only thing that kept me watching. The church scene and the cafÃ© sums up how spooky this film got.
The acting was fine. Only negative is the child actor who it seems, was reading her lines by being printed on the wall behind the camera. The pacing was fine and the story of four uninfected humans trying to make it up north to a military camp was engaging. Thinking about, the whole film should of focused itself on there journey up to the camp rather than totally ruining it in the final act. And this leads me to the final act in which can be summed up by one word, terrible. You are forced to spend twenty minutes of your time by watching an infected thing run around a mansion like a fool. I love the fact that these zombies run at there prey head on rather than limping slowly but at times, especially the last twenty minutes, it made the whole film look daft.
Is this film scary? i would say not. Is it fun to watch? At times, yes. Is it a modern day classic? No, for me, easily forgettable and with the last act being either a snooze fest or a barrels of laughs depending on your current mood, i wouldn't force myself to watch it again.
